The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps for Using Linear Combinations Method)
- Arrange the equations with like terms in columns
- Analyze the coefficients of x or y
- Add the equations and solve for the remaining variable
- Substitute the value into either equation and solve
∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)
∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)
- Multiply equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficients of y are equal in
magnitude and different in sign
∴ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)
Add equations (1) and (3)
∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)
∵ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)
∴ 7 x = -21
- Divide both sides by 7
∴ x = -3
Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y
∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)
∵ x = -3
∴ -3 + 2 y = -7
- Add 3 to both sides
∴ 2 y = -4
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ y = -2
The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

"No, because using the y-axis tests only whether x = 0 is mapped to multiple values." Shayla probably used the wrong method in finding whether the graph is a function or not.
You will have to use trig to solve this:
The side you have is adjacent to the known angle
The side you are looking for is opposite the known angle
^^^This means you need to use tan:
tan(24) = 
.445222 =
^^^input tan(24) into calculator, then multiply 12 to both sides to isolate and solve for x
5.3 ≈ x
Hope this helped!
